An online merchant faces short, intense surges in activity during special offers. The technology manager wants the system to grow automatically when server usage stays high for a certain interval. Which tactic works best for handling sudden demand while reducing costs?
Provision additional resources in advance of promotions and leave them active for an extended period
Heavily rely on manual input to determine when to provision resources
Add capacity dynamically when performance indicators stay above a threshold for a defined duration
Implement a fixed daily schedule to deploy extra servers at specific times, independent of traffic conditions
A plan that watches resource usage and expands capacity after a threshold has been exceeded for a set time ensures responsive growth without wasted resources. Relying on a schedule alone offers less flexibility. A manual process requires human involvement, which can lag behind real-time demands. Activating resources early and leaving them active for long durations can waste funds when demand is no longer high.
